£10.4m for Prescot Watch Factory Development

By on Monday, July 29, 2013

tinlings_developmentA residential development on the site of the former Prescot Watch Factory has received £10.4 million in funding from the Department of Health.

More than 70 new homes will be built on the site, which once also housed Pals Barracks and later Tinlings printers.

They include extra care apartments and bungalows to enable people such as the elderly and disabled to live independently.

The distinctive factory building facing Albany Road will remain and be restored, as it’s a listed building.

The rest of the land, stretching to Oliver Lyme Road and St James’ Road, will be totally cleared and rebuilt.

The DoH funding announced last week includes money from Knowsley Council and Knowsley Housing Trust.

    I was an apprentice Compositor at Tinlings in the 60s, lots of good memories from those times.

    Who can apply for these? I would like to give my house up. It is not Council. I cannot afford McCarthy and Stone Prices.
